Barley Tea

Barley tea, known as 'bori-cha' in Korea, is a comforting and nutty beverage made from roasted barley. Perfect for breakfast, it offers a warm start to your day and can be enjoyed hot or cold.

Ingredients

• Barley grains - 100 grams
• Water - 1 liter

Steps

1. Rinse the barley grains under cold water to remove any impurities.
2. In a dry skillet over medium heat, roast the rinsed barley grains for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and fragrant.
3. Once roasted, transfer the barley to a pot and add 1 liter of water.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and strain the tea through a fine mesh sieve to separate the grains from the liquid.
